How to decode JSON with type convert from string to float64
The answer is considerably less complicated. Just add tell the JSON interpeter it's a string encoded float64 with ,string
(note that I only changed the Price
definition):
package main
import (
"encoding/json"
"fmt"
)
type Product struct {
Name string
Price float64 `json:",string"`
}
func main() {
s := `{"name":"Galaxy Nexus", "price":"3460.00"}`
var pro Product
err := json.Unmarshal([]byte(s), &pro)
if err == nil {
fmt.Printf("%+v\n", pro)
} else {
fmt.Println(err)
fmt.Printf("%+v\n", pro)
}
}
Just letting you know that you can do this without Unmarshal
and use json.decode
. Here is Go Playground
package main
import (
"encoding/json"
"fmt"
"strings"
)
type Product struct {
Name string `json:"name"`
Price float64 `json:"price,string"`
}
func main() {
s := `{"name":"Galaxy Nexus","price":"3460.00"}`
var pro Product
err := json.NewDecoder(strings.NewReader(s)).Decode(&pro)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return
}
fmt.Println(pro)
}
